More quotes by Percy Bysshe Shelley
I have drunken deep of joy.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Oh, that the wise from their bright minds would kindle Such lamps within the dome of this dim world That the pale name of priest might shrink and dwindle Into the Hell from which it first was furled.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
And many more Destructions played In this ghastly masquerade, All disguised, even to the eyes, Like Bishops, lawyers, peers, or spies.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Be your strong and simple words Keen to wound as sharpened swords, And wide as targes let them be, With their shade to cover ye.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
a single word even may be a spark of inextinguishable thought
Percy Bysshe Shelley
The intense atom glows A moment, then is quenched in a most cold repose.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Thou demandest what is love? It is that powerful attraction towards all that we conceive, or fear, or hope beyond ourselves, when we find within our own thoughts the chasm of an insufficient void, and seek to awaken in all things that are, a community with what we experience within ourselves.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Gold is a living god and rules in scorn, All earthly things but virtue.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Fate,Time,Occasion,Chance, and Change? To these All things are subject but eternal love.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Gentleness, Virtue, Wisdom, and Endurance, These are the seals of that most firm assurance Which bars the pit over Destruction's strength And if, with infirm hand, Eternity, Mother of many acts and hours, should free The serpent that would clasp her with his length These are the spells by which to reassume An empire o'er the disentangled doom.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
His fine wit Makes such a wound, the knife is lost in it.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Through the sunset of hope, Like the shapes of a dream, What paradise islands of glory gleam!
Percy Bysshe Shelley
The breath Of accusation kills an innocent name, And leaves for lame acquittal the poor life, Which is a mask without it.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
For the Sensitive Plant has no bright flower Radiance and odour are not its dower It loves, even like Love, its deep heart is full, It desires what it has not, the beautiful.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
The pleasure that is in sorrow is sweeter than the pleasure of pleasure itself.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
I love tranquil solitude And such society As is quiet, wise, and good.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
I love Love -- though he has wings, And like light can flee.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
As belief is a passion of the mind, no degree of criminality is attachable to disbelief.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
Sow seed--but let no tyrant reap Find wealth--let no imposter heap Weave robes--let not the idle wear Forge arms--in your defence to bear.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
The nature of a narrow and malevolent spirit is so essentially incompatible with happiness as to render it inaccessible to the influences of the benignant God.
Percy Bysshe Shelley
